“Same Kind of Different as Me,” a powerful film for Catholic audiences highlighting corporal and spiritual works of mercy, human dignity and family life, will premiere in theaters nationwide Friday, Oct. 20, 2017.

Pope Francis has called us to make a special effort to live out the Works of Mercy during the Lenten season. Michele Faehnle and Emily Jaminet provide moms with more free downloadable resources with their new “Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy Examination of Conscience Guides.”

Ellen Mongan explores ways to approach others in this Year of Mercy. She encourages us to apply the corporal and spiritual works of mercy to her daily interactions with those she meets. How are you going to be merciful in this coming year?
